Sea cucumber.

Slugs are not for eating.

It was something like mashed pumpkin. I forget the exact variety.

I was for dinner at some friend's place. He gives me a bit of that pumpkin stuff, saying I have to taste it because it turned out so great. It was left-overs from the previous day. I take a spoon and it tastes absolutely rotten. Well, ok. He is trying his best to be an amateur chef, but I do have doubts about some of his culinary judgments. So, I put on the polite face and just eat it.

After a few spoons, I can't take it anymore. I say: "Sorry, this tastes absolutely rotten." He tastes of it, nods and hurries out the room to throw it away. So yeah. I ate spoiled food. I didn't get sick but I haven't eaten pumpkin since. The taste really stayed with me.

Flamin Hot Cheetos Mac and Cheese. Had to open all the windows to get the smell out

Sea urchin sushi.

Thoroughly unrecommended.

It was like someone boiled the souls of a thousand fish down into a paste and then let it ferment underground for a year. I was not prepared.

For the record it was part of a set multi course meal in a fancy Japanese restaurant - I didn't seek it out in particular.

Steak, fish, boiled potatoes and fish pudding, basically anything my dad made.

I was 18 when I found out steak wasn’t supposed to be rubber. The foods in themselves should be good, but the way he prepared them, ruined everything.

Now as an adult with my own kitchen and money, I can make the meals phenomenal in comparison to what dad made.

Take the dish fried rice, everyone is head over heels about it, billions of people eat it. But for me it’s associated with some really terrible shit. Soggy rice, canned corn, grey minced meat, canned champignon and lots of oil. No seasoning except salt and the oil.

The first thing that comes to mind are these frozen turkey burgers. They weren't offensive but they were so flavorless. Nothing I added to them made them palatable. It was the damnedest thing.

Nothing tops the Jolly Rancher story.

Steve and his girlfriend Samantha went off to college in August. She went to Florida State, he went to Penn. So, she decides to fly to PA to visit him. He was really happy to see her so he decided to give her some oral action.

He had done this numerous times before and he always enjoyed doing it...but for some reason, this time, she smelled really horrible, and she tasted even worse. He didn't want to offend her though because he hadn't seen her in months...so he put a Jolly Rancher in his mouth to cover it up, even though it didn't do much to help.

In the course of eating her out, he accidentally pushed the candy inside of her... and stuck a finger in to grab it out. He took it out, and put it back into his mouth and bit it. Only...it wasn't the Jolly Rancher.

It was a nodule of gonorrhea.

As in, the blister-like structure that gonorrhea makes filled with diseased pus was the size of a fucking Jolly Rancher and the poor guy BIT it. I guess it was really dark in the room. He freaked out and started vomiting all over the place when it exploded in his mouth...

He demanded to know what was going on, turns out she had cheated on him at a club like, the first week of college, and fucked some random guy and the stupid bitch had no clue what was wrong with her. She noticed a strange smell though.

So now, Steve is freaking out that he now has gonorrhea of the mouth and God knows what else.

I love eating fish. Most fish is incredible.

Fish with too much lime is, however, HORRIBLE and makes me want to puke. Poorly made noodles are also not great.

Bitter gourd curry. Was so so so bitter. I'll bet it tastes different to different folks.

Reminds me of a migraine medicine. I have to eat candy for a few hours after taking that.

surströmming, though i would classify it more as a bioweapon than food.

Caine's.

I LOOOOVE sushi. I love allll sushi. I’ve never had a piece of sushi I didn’t like.

…until I was at a nice sushi place, and I got sushi with a quail egg on it. I don’t know what else was on it, because the semi-raw or raw quail yolk ball was horrid. I couldn’t stand it. I spit it out and I felt soooo bad.
